Creating Drafted Filleted Pockets

Drafted Filleted Pocket lets you create a pocket while drafting its faces and filleting its edges. It is recommended to use this command to speed up your design.

  1. Select the profile to be extruded.
  2. In the First Limit box, enter the pocket depth value.
  3. In the Second Limit box, select the top face as the second limit.

    Selecting a second limit is mandatory.

  4. In the Draft Angle box, enter the draft angle value.
  5. Select Second limit to define the neutral element. So, note that the pad's top face is also used as the neutral element.
  6. Select the respective check boxes and enter a radius value for each edge type to define the three fillets as per the requirement.

    • Lateral radius: defines the fillets on vertical edges.

    • Top fillet radius: defines the round corner fillets.

    • Bottom fillet radius: defines the filets on the edges of the second limit.
